Hi all,
Hope someone can advise.
I have been using a Linksys BEFW11S4 router on an unsecured cable network. Noticing that it was considerably slower in the evenings, I thought that someone was tapping into my account. I went to the web address
http://192.168.1.1/ to change the settings, and made adjustments both to the name of the account, the address just mentioned, and the WEP settings. The new secure network worked just fine. Problem is, the old unsecured "Linksys" network still showed up on the list of wireless networks and was still usable by other computers.
How do I get rid of it and have only the new secure network?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

- Thank you very much for the help.
Yes, this explains most of it. I had unplugged the Linksys box and used the Ethernet connection for the internet, but the Linksys connection was still showing up. It does appear that the neighbor has an unsecured Linksys account also.
Only thing it does not explain is why my newly secured wireless connection also seemed to function slowly in the evening. My computer verified that it was connected to the secure connection, so I don't see how another person's account could slow it down.
Again--thanks!
